Nintendo Network IDs are locked to one Wii U console

While we're plenty glad Nintendo decided to drop friend codes from the Wii U, having Nintendo Network IDs tied to a single console doesn't seem like a great idea. That's an issue folks are now running into, and an entry on the official Wii U FAQ confirms this unfortunate precautionary feature. Nevermind that the console already has several major first-party launch titles focused on cooperative play.

As of now, Nintendo IDs are locked to a single unit, meaning your account can't be accessed from any other Wii U console. Better hope yours doesn't suffer a sudden case of bricking.

No, you cannot. A Nintendo Network Account can only be used on the console where it was created. In the future, you will be able to use your Nintendo Network Account with future Nintendo consoles and other devices, such as PC's.

Currently, the Wii U supports up to 12 individual Nintendo Network ID's per console, which enables each member of the family to have his or her own unique identity on the system.

Hey, maybe Nintendo will eventually change their minds and drop this feature down the road. For now, you'll just have to live with it.

I would like to suggest a rephrasing of the title, there is nothing on the quote that the ID's cant be moved, or will be allowed to be moved in the future, saying that they are locked to one console is missleading, something like You cant log onto your nintendo ID from a different console which is different than what the title implies.

In the beginning, the Planet made Weapons to protect itself. What does it need protecting from? Tifa Lockhart.

Tifa Lockhart doesn't call the wrong number. You pick up the wrong PHS.
